The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Lost Egg]

I wonder if they plan on following the AoS model of a handful of options for each faction with little to no wargear options or if they plan on doing more, looking at Horus Heresy FW have produced a larger number of kits but then most can be used by any legion.

I look forward to seeing an update with something a bit more solid.

[JamesValentine]

You never know. They might Space Hulk it and have another limited edition box come out. 

Nah. They'll stick them in getting started boxes.

Look at shadowspear as proof

[FramFramson]

As far as I can tell the only limited part of this box set was the unique codex art?

[Manchu]

Hard to say. The sprues included definitely are not the ones that will be coming in the respective unit boxes next year. Then again, maybe this box will be repackaged as a Start Collecting box down the line (as per the newest SM and CSM SC boxes, originally packaged together as Shadowspear). I'd think the cards will be available when the "real" release happens. And the white dice are just white dice, no special symbols or anything.

They are holy white dice.

This was racist Flip

Oh my lord:

So apparently Games Workshop have decided that Warhammer 40k needs *checks picture* the popemobile

I love it.

[Westfalia Chris]

Oh my lord:


I love it.

I must say, except for some of the detail, that wouldn't have looked out of place in a Jodorowsky-Moebius comic.

Quadruple-linked flamers, though. Somebody really likes their heretics barbecued...

[Lost Egg]

This'd make a nice piece for a diorama or some terrain but for me it ranks alongside Logan Grimnar's santa sleigh...too daft for my tastes.

The carven skeletons positioned as if they were firing the flamers is an especially nice touch.

Rules wise the popemobile is a bit daft, its only usable if you take Order of our martyred lady, so its sub faction specific

I have to agree.

[steders]

I hated that santa sleigh BUT i really like this.
It harkens back to early Rogue trader art with a dash of Monty python

[Gabbi]

Oooh lovely mini 

Love it!
Too bad the sprues look like finecast...

I was thinking Dave Allen! I can imagine an irreverent sketch with a nun in a hovering pulpit.
